The Fine Art of NOT Hiring Nation State Threat Actors

Simplifying HR interactions for employees makes a huge difference in engagement. From onboarding and job changes, through personal needs and leaves, automation and GenAI are game changers. 

The employee experience starts the day they receive an offer, and how you work with them sets the tone for ongoing engagement with the organization. With today’s technology, you can offer a seamless onboarding experience that helps them complete all onboarding tasks, including those delivered by providers outside of HR, like IT and Facilities. That same technology can later provide information and support addressing a variety of employee needs.

This session from Influencer Phyllis Drucker will demonstrate how providers can help deliver all HR services using workflows, automation, and AI. Examples include: onboarding and other job changes, leaves of absence, and some simple employee tasks like one-time payments and employment verification letters. It will also demonstrate how GenAI can help employees easily retrieve HR and payroll information, without employers needing to set up extensive employee knowledge bases.

Employee Experiences That Matter

Across industries, we are seeing a rise of quiet quitting, burnout, and high turnover. These aren't isolated problems, but clear signals of a deeper cultural disconnect within organisations. When employee disengagement is misinterpreted as laziness, burnout is celebrated as dedication, and high turnover is a recruitment problem, we're missing crucial warning signs about our organisational health. 

We need to move away from treating symptoms towards addressing the root cause: workplace culture. To future-proof our workplaces we need to stop looking at superficial fixes or perks. We instead need to understand how misaligned values, poor leadership, and lack of purpose directly impact employee engagement and organisational performance. 

Join Yasmine Alani (Director of Transformation at Media Zoo) to discover how to turn your organisational culture from a potential liability into your strongest strategic asset. 

Topics for discussion include: 

- Understand how burnout and quiet quitting are direct responses to misaligned values, poor leadership, and lack of purpose. 
- Recognise the part engagement plays in the success of your organisation 
- Practical, people-first strategies for authentic leadership and trust-building 
- Blueprint for driving cultural change through human-centred design principles

The Engagement Equation: Culture as Your Competitive Edge

We begin by exploring the concept of the employee experience and its pivotal role in shaping organizational success. Recognizing that employee expectations are continuously changing, especially in the wake of global challenges and the rise of remote work, we will outline a framework for assessing and enhancing every stage of the employee lifecycle, from onboarding to development and retention.

Central to our discussion will be the integration of technology in creating a seamless and empowering work environment. We will examine how digital tools and platforms can facilitate better communication, collaboration, and work-life balance, thereby increasing employee satisfaction and productivity. Additionally, the presentation will highlight the importance of personalized experiences, leveraging data analytics to tailor HR practices to meet the diverse needs of the workforce.
